Reinitialize Centera

I was able to purchase a used 4 node Centera (I think it was originally an 8 node, but the person I bought it from removed 4 of the nodes). This unit is to be for personal non-commercial use, in my test lab. Does anyone know how to reinitialize these nodes back to factory defaults so that I can configure the unit from scratch?

Thanks!

PS: Agin this unit will be used for personal non-commercial use :-) (just felt it warranted repeating)

this might not be possible at all without returning your Centera to manufacturing.... definitely not if it was running in compliance mode. i'm not sure what additional troubles there can be if it was really an 8-node cluster stripped to only 4 nodes...probably severe. for older than Gen4 nodes the 4-node configuration is even not valid.
so your first step is to open a service request with EMC, there is no other way i'm afraid
